Vol. 31, No.7 -FREEwww.advocatenews.net School Committee lifts mask mandate By Adam Swift T he School Committee unanimously voted to lift the school mask mandate, effective March 14. Students and staff will still have the option to wear masks to school, if they so choose. The lifting of the mandate will take place two weeks after the date the state Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) set as the earliest date school districts can lift the mandate. The additional time means the mask mandate will not be dropped immediately after the end of February school vacation, when many students and parents could be returning from travel. “I know there’s never going to be one way that’s going to make everyone happy,†said School Committee Vice-Chair Stacey Bronsdon-Rizzo. “I think we are all here, along with the community, to do what we think is best for our students and staff .†Masks will still be required for students and staff following a positive COVID-19 test, on school transportation and in school health offi ces. “I’m looking forward to a new chapter and a new day where we are moving away from this pandemic and learning to live with it responsibly, but bringing back a sense of normalcy to these kids and staff and our way of living,†said School Committee Member Aisha Milbury-Ellis. “I am happy about this vote, and I think we will restore some conFree Every Friday 781-286-8500 Friday, February 18, 2022 Revere Girls Travel Basketball League players go courtside at Boston College AISHA MILBURY-ELLIS School Committee Member fi dence that we are taking some proactive measures to bring to our families.†During the public speaking portion of last Tuesday’s School Committee meeting, several parents spoke in favor of lifting the mask mandate, stating that they want their children to return to a school routine with a sense of normalcy. Parent Ralph DeCicco, however, cautioned the School Committee against lifting the mandate too soon. He also said it was unfair for DESE to punt the fi nal decision down the road to the individual school districts. “I think it was poor judgment by DESE to put this on the schools and the communities for a date of the 28th, which is a day after school vacation,†said DeCicco.

The Patriots had a chance to clinch a spot by earning their 10th win on Tuesday at home against East Boston but fell just short. Jack D’Ambrosio’s 14 points were not enough to propel Revere in a 65-58 loss to the Jets. Hamza Ghoul added nine points and nine boards and D’Ambrosio pulled down nine rebounds in the defeat. The Patriots reached the cusp of the playoff s by scoring backto-back wins: over Somerville last Thursday at home by a lowscoring 35-31 margin and Medford away last Saturday by a close 56-53 score. The two victories gave Revere nine for the season. D’Ambrosio was the lone Patriot in double fi gures in the win over Somerville. He netted 18 points (more than half the team’s total) and came away with 13 rebounds to lead the way. James Clauto contributed seven points. Against Medford, the Patriots found themselves trailing by 10 points at halftime, 29-19. But they turned the tables and outscored the hosts 37-24 in the second half to steal the victory. Ghoul poured in 14 points and Domenic Boudreau drained 13, including two three-pointers. Clauto netted eight points and Alejandro Hincapie added fi ve to contribute on the offensive end. Ghoul grabbed 11 rebounds. Overall, the Patriots shot seven of 17 from the foul line and hit on four of their 13 three-point tries. Revere was 9-7 overall and had a good opportunity to clinch that 10th victory when it hosted Lynn Classical on Thursday night (after press deadline). The Patriots then head to the annual General Patton Basketball tourney at Hamilton-Wenham Regional High School, where they will play in the opening round against North Reading on Monday, Feb. 21.

Patel said the initial plans called for security, human services and structured programs to help the Mass and Cass population. He added that his company was not privy to all the discussions that went on regarding the proposal, and much of the discussion took place between the Cities of Revere and Boston and other public players. Selevitch read an email from Ward 6 City Councillor Richard Serino in which Serino expressed some concerns he and residents in North Revere had about the hotel. “Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, I would have characterized Quality Inn’s relationship with the city of Revere, and the neighborhood of North Revere in particular, as a good partnership,†Serino stated. “The hotel used to provide community space to the North Revere Neighborhood Group to hold its monthly meetings, and when the hotel shut down in March of 2020, the manager at the time went out of her way to donate the remaining food from the hotel to the city’s food collection eff orts.†However, Serino stated that since that time the relationship between the hotel and the community has deteriorated. “The Quality Inn has not only remained shuttered, but acted in a way I would characterize as unneighborly,†he stated. “The actions of last September caused much concern among the neighbors and offi cials in both Revere and the neighboring town of Saugus. Going forward, there is trepidation about the Quality Inn long term and how it sees itself as a business and a community partner.†Patel said he understood the concerns of Serino and the residents, and that the decision to close and remain closed for such an extended time was a diffi cult decision. “I think we can get back to our community outreach as we come to a determination of when we can reopen and when we can be a viable business,†said Patel. “We hope to be back in business and be a community partner and provide jobs again. We’ve been in operation in this location for years, and when we bought this property, we bought it from a larger corporation in Atlanta, and they had zero community outreach.†Selevitch said the reassurances that the business will remain a hotel should help reassure residents. The commission voted unanimously to approve the licenses for renewal. he former Buster Bar on Shirley Avenue will soon reopen as a Caribbean restaurant. Last Wednesday, the License Commission granted an all-alcohol license for Lupita Restaurant to open at 111 Shirley Ave. The restaurant will be operated by the Guevara family, which owns the building and also operates the Lupita Sports Bar & Grill in Lynn. “This is a family-owned business, and it is also a building that is owned by the family,†said Attorney James Cipoletta, counsel for the applicants. “It had been rented to another establishment, and they saw fi t to retire and turn in their license. Since they left, the Gueveras have undertaken to sink a lot of money into the improvement of the block of buildings.†Ernesto Guevara will be the manager of record for the restaurant, and his mother and father will also be involved with the business, said Cipoletta. Cipoletta said their Lynn restaurant has been open since 2003, with no violations fi led with that city or the state’s Alcoholic Beverages Control Commission. “So all three family members have adequate experience in food service and alcohol service,†said Cipoletta. “The food to be served is Caribbean, from what they tell me, and they are ready to open.†The restaurant will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., with food service until midnight. The License Commission also approved an entertainment license for cable TV, radio, jukebox and vocal and instrumental music. “I happened to go down there going toward the beach, and it’s quite an improvement down there,†said License Commissioner Linda Guinasso. “You’ve done quite a bit of work and the whole avenue – you drive down there and it’s a diff erent place.†License Commission Chair Robert Selevitch asked if the establishment would turn into a nightclub later in the night, and Guevera said it would not. “I’m glad to see you are here,†said Selevitch. “I know the place has been closed for a while, and you guys have put a lot of money into it.†The License Commission unanimously approved granting the alcohol and entertainment licenses. ׉ Ú7cassandra://COLOngF627RAL--hVe_SrzkmPU9Fxtku2YdAyoTDOx4Í+Í`Ì°Í×bè©O#qt‘׉EÚDTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2022 Page 5 Mayor Arrigo and Assistant Speaker Clark announce $18M investment to replace and improve the Andrew A. Casassa Overpass in Revere T he Andrew A. Casassa Overpass, the first overpass built in Massachusetts, will be replaced over the next few months. Assistant Speaker of the U.S. House Katherine Clark (Fifth District of Massachusetts) and Mayor Brian Arrigo announced an $18 million investment to replace and improve the Andrew A. Casassa Overpass, paid for by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. This Act was signed by President Joe Biden in November of 2021 – as the largest investment in bridge infrastructure in American history. The Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) will receive $225.3 million for Fiscal Year 2022. Through the renovation of the Casassa Overpass, Revere will receive $18 million. “The Andrew A. Casassa Overpass is one of the 472 Massachusetts bridges in need of repair,†said Assistant Speaker Clark. “I was proud to vote for the infrastructure law, bringing a record $1.1 billion to Massachusetts to modernize our bridges, just like this one in Revere. With this funding, we are improving safety and commute times, lowering costs for drivers, and investing in our community’s future. This is the heart of my work in Washington, and I am thrilled that this funding is making its way to Revere where the city is putting our plan for a strong infrastructure and a stronger tomorrow into action.†The Andrew A. Casassa Overpass was built in 1931. Andrew A. Casassa was the Mayor of Revere from 1929 to 1934 – he was also the fi rst municipal executive of Italian descent in the Commonwealth. Casassa also served in the Massachusetts General Court as a state representative and state senator. “As municipal leaders, we know the power of investing in infrastructure,†said Mayor Arrigo. “I am thankful for federal and state partners like Assistant Speaker Katherine Clark for understanding the importance of infrastructure funding – with ARPA money, the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, and other grant opportunities from Governor Baker and Lieutenant Governor Polito, the City of Revere is in an unprecedented position to make lasting infrastructure change that will benefi t all residents and visitors.†Last month the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration announced that the fi rst round of funding from the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act’s $27.5 billion bridge formula program was distributed to states and tribal communities. Over the life of the five-year program, $1.1 billion will be allocated for bridge replacement and repair projects across the Commonwealth. Gerry D’Ambrosio Attorney-at-Law Is Your Estate in Order?

House Passes Legislation that Establishes Additional Protections for Veterans and Mandates Increased Accountability for Management of Veterans’ Homes Updated legislation would increase state management and oversight of veterans' homes BOSTON - Thursday, February 10, 2022 - In an eff ort to ensure greater accountability on behalf of our veterans and their families, the Massachusetts House of Representatives passed legislation today that makes key redesigned to identify and correct any examples of mismanagement or inadequate care as quickly as possible. I thank Chair McMurtry and Chair Michlewitz for the work they did to advance this critical legislation.†“I’m honored to have been enJESSICA GIANNINO State Representative forms to the governance structure of the veterans’ homes, ensures that both homes are federally licensed as health care facilities, mandates increased state management, and provides independent oversight and accountability of veterans’ homes management. “Today, with the best interests of our veterans and their families in mind, the House took action to ensure greater accountability and oversight for veterans’ homes in Massachusetts,†said House Speaker Ronald J. Mariano (D-Quincy). “This legislation takes signifi cant steps to change how our veterans' homes are governed and managed, and establishes protocols that are trusted by Speaker Mariano to advance this important legislation,†said Representative Paul McMurtry (D-Dedham), House Chair of the Joint Committee on Veterans and Federal Aff airs. “I believe this comprehensive bill takes the necessary steps to protect deserving Massachusetts veterans.†"I am so excited for this important legislation to be enacted," said State Representative Jessica Giannino (D-Revere). "Our veterans selfl essly served to protect the values, lives, and rights of our great country. Now it is our time to serve our veterans by giving them the best services and treatment available." "We as a Commonwealth and a country have not greater duty than to take care of our veterans. The passage of this important legislation will allow the Commonwealth to improve the delivery of services to veterans most in need. I am proud to have supported this eff ort," said State Representative Jeff rey Rosario Turco (D-Winthrop). “This legislation will build a foundation for consistent statewide expectations at the Commonwealth’s Soldiers’ Homes. The men and women who have served our nation in uniform deserve top level quality care. These measures will go a long way toward ensuring that care as we begin a new chapter in a soon to open Chelsea Home thanks to the continued commitment of Speaker Mariano, Chairman McMurty, the entire legislature and Governor Baker.†said State Representative Dan Ryan (D-Charlestown). “An Act relative to the governance, structure and care of veterans at the Commonwealth veterans’ homes†(H.4441): • Requires home superintendents to be licensed as nursing home administrators and either be a veteran or someone with experience managing veterans in a nursing home or long termcare facility. • Establishes a 17-member statewide Veterans’ Homes Council to manage and control the veterans’ homes, promulgate regulations to the local boards, and confi rm and remove superintendents. • Preserves local, 5-member boards of trustees for the veterans’ homes in Chelsea and Holyoke with the authority to nominate candidates for superintendents of their respective veterans’ homes. • Establishes the Offi ce of the Veteran Advocate, an independent offi ce that will be led by a Veteran Advocate appointed by the Governor, Attorney General and State Auditor. • Requires the Veteran Advocate to submit an annual report, which will be made public, to the Governor and the Legislature with an analysis of the delivery of services to veterans and recommendations for changes in agency procedures. • Establishes the position of ombudsperson for each veterans’ home to advocate on behalf of the residents and staff at the home. JEFFREY TURCO State Representative • Requires the Department of Public Health (DPH) to conduct and report on inspections of veterans’ homes twice a year, or as often as they see fi t, and establishes a maximum time of 30 days for a veterans’ home to correct any violation that DPH identifi es. • Requires that all state-operated veterans’ homes adhere to the guidelines for trauma-informed care as outlined by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and be certifi ed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. • Requires the Offi ce of Veterans’ Homes and Housing to submit an annual report including fi ndings but not limited to the quality of care provided at the homes and an analysis of activities of the Offi ce and of the Veterans’ Homes Council. Following the tragedy at the Holyoke Veterans’ Home in 2020, which resulted in the COVID-19 related deaths of 77 veterans, the Legislature established the Special Joint Oversight Committee on the veterans’ Home in Holyoke COVID-19 Outbreak to investigate and make legislative recommendations. In May 2021, the House approved a $600 million bond authorization — with $400 million for the construction of an updated Holyoke Veterans' Home facility and $200 million to increase geographic equity and accessibility for veterans not primarily served by the veterans’ Home in Chelsea or Holyoke. “An Act relative to the governance, structure and care of veterans at the Commonwealth veterans’ homes†passed the House of Representatives with a 156-1 vote.

More than 50 people, included representatives from Lynn, Nahant, Revere, Winthrop, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy and Hull, took part in a February 9 hearing that was co-chaired by State Representative Adrian Madaro of East Boston and State Senator Brendan Crighton of Lynn. The hearing was translated into six languages. O n February 9 at 10:00 a.m., the Metropolitan Beaches Commission (MBC) and Save the Harbor/Save the Bay convened a Virtual Public Hearing to address language barriers on the public beaches in Lynn, Nahant, Revere, Winthrop, East Boston, South Boston, Dorchester, Quincy and Hull. At the hearing the MBC took testimony from people who do not predominantly communicate in English about the obstacles they face when they try to use and enjoy the region’s public beaches. In addition, participants heard presentations on current and best practices for multilingual signage and websites. “Overcoming language barriers is a key issue,†said Save the Harbor/Save the Bay Executive Director Chris Mancini. “If we don’t have diversity in programs and signage on our beaches, folks will be forced to be spectators when they should be involved, active participants.†MBC Co-Chair Representative Adrian Madaro of East Boston set the tone in his opening remarks, saying, “In East Boston, language justice and language access are not merely aspirations; they are absolute necessities to ensure the safety, well-being, and success of all of our neighbors.†“Of the 250 signs we looked at across our Massachusetts coast, just four of them were in languages other than English. That’s simply not good enough,†said Save the Harbor/Save the Bay’s Director of Strategy and Communications, Bruce Berman. “QR codes on beach signage is one easy way to connect people to the multilingual resources they need,†said Save the Harbor/ Save the Bay’s Policy Intern, Caroline Adamson, during her presentation, pointing out that QR codes are already in use on signs in Revere and elsewhere. Among those who testifi ed at the hearing were Department of Conservation & Recreation (DCR) Acting Commissioner Stephanie Cooper and Boston City Councilor-at-Large Julia Mejia. According to Cooper, “We are focused on having our areas accessible and safe. We also need to have signage and information that provides people with the rules and regulations. What are the amenities? What do I need to know to enjoy the beach and be safe?†Cooper underscored the importance of the use of QR codes, observing that “Save the Harbor/ Save the Bay’s presentation highlighted some of where we are headed and some of the progress we still need to make. The great thing about a QR code is that you can provide a lot of information in all the languages that you want. Our plan is to use QR codes this year.†“I hope that in the years to come our public spaces resemble, more accurately, our community,†said Mejia. “When I look at a lot of the signs, oftentimes at our public beaches everything is still very much in English. I think that we need to do a better job of making sure that if we are serious about creating spaces where people are seen and refl ected then translation and information justice is a part of that conversation.†MBC Co-Chair Senator BrenTo promote equity, at King’s Beach in Lynn and the rest of the Greater Boston metropolitan region’s public beaches, information on water quality and beach regulations needs to be accessible to people who do not speak English as their primary language. ׉ Ú7cassandra://gYWL3W85rzqQyzXOchXqFIR60Gbf5te6h1VL6VLgaKQÍ0RÍ`Ì°Í×bè©O#qt”×bè©O#qt“Í P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://3wm8JUq-XfEIAvegIlj1gHIgGzyfoavTzJLbYBTv6ZsÎÆ[Í`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://jVcHm7WT6BNX9ecdDIWYw_MIelnvdAadT6FIVmWX6xwÍ™†Í`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://jQg5CaPA8QdNi_1P5zLKvTcB03Xv4eXfn6JF0uWoKqAÍ,¡Í`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://ZKt8xcBoqJLZ1Ns6AVJTuIgpsLynADa6cZ38fXiXMtoκ_ÌæÍ ÍÅÍñ×bè ©O#qt¾×˜šÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://icTqrC1Aa-rs6jaLrZZ2a4c8VvEmucCW8ucZGbOCQwcΈ¼Í`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://EZ8XLL8qYMs_HpIooHjN9xQkjlz0YTjV71Hqrml3NgAÍ mÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://viX5TRUTkD6-oUf8j3Fm3BP8_u0vy2ZxpXPZQO5ndysÍ1xÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://ZpjZHuMfUEQxCFvMfYsq5nfy5ORScV9_Pal3toCSBW4΂‘͚͠ÍÅÍñ×bè ©O#qt¿’× ×bè ©O#qtÄÍLÍ!ͽ9×HÚ$http://Facebook.com/Advocate.news.ma× × Ј× ×bè ©O#qtÃÍŸÍÍ 9×HÚ"http://www.eight10barandgrille.com× × Ј׉EÚUPage 8 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2022 GREATER BOSTON LEAGUE NOTEBOOK: Malden swimmer makes States; Everett boys’ basketball wins GBL title Revere High girls’ basketball fi nishes 3rd in GBL, clinches State Tourney spot Champion and for the two years before, was Northeastern Conference (NEC) divisional champion.

Since then, they’ve been looking at some previous transportation policies and have some suggestions we think are going to further the transportation program even more.†Sena said her goal is to streamline the Transportation Department and improve effi ciencies. One of the ways the department can do that, she said, is going out to vendors to change the look of the district’s special education transportation fl eet. Currently, the district has six vans and two small buses of its own for special education transportation. In addition, for the current year, the district used vendors to supply 16 vans and two small buses at an annual cost of $1.6 million. “What we want to do next year is still use our six vans and two small buses, but we are proposing to go out to vendors for eight small buses at a potential cost of $736,000,†said Sena. “Prices will vary, but you can see the diff erence in the cost.†Because of pandemic-related issues, Sena said, the district needed to lease the smaller vans, which can only transport fi ve students – as opposed to 17 students – in the small buses, at the same price as the small buses this year. She said the small buses should be more readily available for the next school year. Sena said the district will be able to handle the transportation needs with the small buses as opposed to the vans. “Our priority is to continue to improve the scheduling and effi ciency of the department and always accommodate any student who needs a ride with us,†said Sena. One way the department is looking to improve scheduling and communication with parents is by providing individualized bus schedules for single routes to parents, rather than using the current system that lists every bus route. Assistant Superintendent of Schools Richard Gallucci said the proposed schedules will include a map of the route, as well as approximate pickup times at each bus stop. “We just fi nd something like this to be more appealing and much more accessible for all of our families,†said Gallucci. Several committee members praised the proposed bus route sheets. “I think it is a tremendous idea; it’s short and sweet and color coded, and, hopefully, we can implement it and make it work,†said School Committee Member Michael Ferrante. “Kudos to the people who came up with that.†Additionally, Sena said the Transportation Department has hired a bilingual administra~ LEGAL NOTICE ~           î˜îµµî’îîŽ î€§îŒî™îŒî–îŒî’î‘ î€§î’î†îŽîˆî— î’ SU21P2724EA Estate of: î˜îœ î„î‡î„îî„î€ î€­î•î€‘ Also Known As: î˜îœ  î„î‡î„îî„î€ î€­î•î€‘ Date of Death: î†î—î’î…îˆî• î€”î€šî€ î€•î€“î€•î€” INFORMAL PROBATE PUBLICATION NOTICE To all persons interested in the above captioned estate, by Petition of Petitioner î’î–îˆî“î‹îŒî‘îˆ î€ªî’îî‡î‘îˆîœ of îˆî™îˆî•îˆî€  î’î–îˆî“î‹îŒî‘îˆ î€ªî’îî‡î‘îˆîœ of îˆî™îˆî•îˆî€  has been informally appointed as the Personal Representative of the estate to serve îšîŒî—î‹î’î˜î— î–î˜î•îˆî—îœ on the bond. î‹îˆ îˆî–î—î„î—îˆ îŒî– î…îˆîŒî‘îŠ î„î‡îîŒî‘îŒî–î—îˆî•îˆî‡ î˜î‘î‡îˆî• îŒî‘î‰î’î•îî„î î“î•î’î†îˆî‡î˜î•îˆ î…îœ î—î‹îˆ îˆî•î–î’î‘î„î îˆî“î•îˆî–îˆî‘î—î„î—îŒî™îˆ î˜î‘î‡îˆî• î—î‹îˆ î„î–î–î„î†î‹î˜î–îˆî—î—î– î€¸î‘îŒî‰î’î•î î•î’î…î„î—îˆ î€¦î’î‡îˆ îšîŒî—î‹î’î˜î— î–î˜î“îˆî•î™îŒî–îŒî’î‘ î…îœ î—î‹îˆ î’î˜î•î— î‘î™îˆî‘î—î’î•îœ î„î‘î‡ î„î†î†î’î˜î‘î—î– î„î•îˆ î‘î’î— î•îˆî”î˜îŒî•îˆî‡ î—î’ î…îˆ î‚¿îîˆî‡ îšîŒî—î‹ î—î‹îˆ î’î˜î•î—î€ î…î˜î— îŒî‘î—îˆî•îˆî–î—îˆî‡ î“î„î•î—îŒîˆî– î„î•îˆ îˆî‘î—îŒî—îîˆî‡ î—î’ î‘î’î—îŒî†îˆ î•îˆîŠî„î•î‡îŒî‘îŠ î—î‹îˆ î„î‡îîŒî‘îŒî–î—î•î„î—îŒî’î‘ î‰î•î’î î—î‹îˆ îˆî•î–î’î‘î„î îˆî“î•îˆî–îˆî‘î—î„î—îŒî™îˆ î„î‘î‡ î†î„î‘ î“îˆî—îŒî—îŒî’î‘ î—î‹îˆ î’î˜î•î— îŒî‘ î„î‘îœ îî„î—î—îˆî• î•îˆîî„î—îŒî‘îŠ î—î’ î—î‹îˆ îˆî–î—î„î—îˆî€ îŒî‘î†îî˜î‡îŒî‘îŠ î‡îŒî–î—î•îŒî…î˜î—îŒî’î‘ î’î‰ î„î–î–îˆî—î– î„î‘î‡ îˆî›î“îˆî‘î–îˆî– î’î‰ î„î‡îîŒî‘îŒî–î—î•î„î—îŒî’î‘ î‘î—îˆî•îˆî–î—îˆî‡ î“î„î•î—îŒîˆî– î„î•îˆ îˆî‘î—îŒî—îîˆî‡ î—î’ î“îˆî—îŒî—îŒî’î‘ î—î‹îˆ î’î˜î•î— î—î’ îŒî‘î–î—îŒî—î˜î—îˆ î‰î’î•îî„î î“î•î’î†îˆîˆî‡îŒî‘îŠî– î„î‘î‡ î—î’ î’î…î—î„îŒî‘ î’î•î‡îˆî•î– î—îˆî•îîŒî‘î„î—îŒî‘îŠ î’î• î•îˆî–î—î•îŒî†î—îŒî‘îŠ î—î‹îˆ î“î’îšîˆî•î– î’î‰ î€³îˆî•î–î’î‘î„î îˆî“î•îˆî–îˆî‘î—î„î—îŒî™îˆî– î„î“î“î’îŒî‘î—îˆî‡ î˜î‘î‡îˆî• îŒî‘î‰î’î•îî„î î“î•î’î†îˆî‡î˜î•îˆî€‘  î†î’î“îœ î’î‰ î—î‹îˆ îˆî—îŒî—îŒî’î‘ î„î‘î‡ î€ºîŒîîî€ îŒî‰ î„î‘îœî€ î†î„î‘ î…îˆ î’î…î—î„îŒî‘îˆî‡ î‰î•î’î î—î‹îˆ îˆî—îŒî—îŒî’î‘îˆî•î€‘ îˆî…î•î˜î„î•îœ î€”î€›î€ î€•î€“î€•î€• tive assistant who speaks Spanish and has already been able to help a number of families. ׉ Ú7cassandra://cE5lncbV2bSvSxQ8I0er13Pm4U1CS30hCq7rkJ1VJ5AÍ"Í`Ì°Í×bè©O#qtš×bè©O#qt™Í P̀בC’טšÍ(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://ZBOz8OTEKkdWVqhPyzrp6FUa0x048pE5pP5LpuTENtwÎ —Í`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://YQP_Eh8D5cUpYx1BZgkuUw0UqW7_aZlLi83gX0wYDYQÍ—XÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://jP5RKYwjMw9FWM3WrjQJjr2mwrcTuBRg2M1JnBFSbiYÍ$øÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://qU7CIHu6UdfmMZYTarjs--kGomneX_8ysq1Ct3HdMQsÎWÍ ÍÅÍñ×bè ©O#qtËטšÍ(Í(Í€u׉œ”׉ Ú7cassandra://eiUfWAzBt_RZ8k4lB2jIq2AbjW1-Sz6lbIZQW9lUGxEÎÜ5Í`ÍœÍ)׉ Ú7cassandra://BcngSVFHnQEKBSHxZP64yEIc5aL-tpC6NL07r68yZ24Í“ÍÍ`ÍJÍà׉ Ú7cassandra://jktBV9DGSCt4d_qnW2oT3GXNbpA5pJVGedd_ynSGy0QÍ&ÁÍ`Ì°Í׉ Ú7cassandra://xjJeBeZoH1JQogUENTsqtKGj35YiCYoraV8nBHDdAEIΖÎÍ7–Í ÍÅÍñ×bè ©O#qt̕נ×bè ©O#qtÔÍ 8ÍÏ> 9×H¯http://call.com× × Ј× ×bè ©O#qtÓÍØÍ¥C9×H°http://AARP.org/× × Ј× ×bè ©O#qtÒÍËÍ'N9×H­http://IRS.tr× × Ј× ×bè ©O#qtÑÍ–Í×̃9×H¹http://Taxadmin.org/state× × Ј× ×bè ©O#qtÐ͸Í39×H®http://IRS.gov× × Ј׉EÚ.Page 14 THE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2022 If you have any questions about this week’s report, e-mail us at bob@beaconhillrollcall.com or call us at (617) 720-1562.

Beacon Hill Roll Call records local representatives’ and senators’ votes on roll calls from the week of February 7-11. SOLDIERS’ HOMES OVERSIGHT BILL (H 4441) House 156-1, approved and sent to the Senate a bill that would make major changes to the oversight and governance structure of the state’s veterans’ homes in Holyoke and Chelsea. The proposal follows the deaths of 77 veteran residents in 2020 as a result of a COVID-19 outbreak at the Holyoke facility. Key provisions include requiring superintendents of the two soldiers’ homes to be licensed as nursing home administrators and either be a veteran or someone with experience managing veterans in a nursing home or long term-care facility; establishing an ombudsperson for each facility to advocate on behalf of the veterans and staff ; requiring the Office of Veterans’ Homes and Housing to submit an annual report including findings on the quality of care provided at the homes at each facility; establishing a 17-member statewide Veterans’ Homes Council to manage and control the homes and confi rm and remove superintendents; and establishing the Offi ce of the Veteran Advocate, an independent offi ce that will be led by a person appointed by the governor, attorney general and auditor. “I believe this comprehensive bill takes the necessary steps to protect deserving Massachusetts veterans,†said Rep. Paul McMurtry (D-Dedham), House chair of the Veterans and Federal Aff airs Committee. “It’s not about partisan politics, and it’s certainly not about control. It is first about ensuring that a tragedy like this never happens again and providing our veterans the best possible care we can. I believe this legislation takes the necessary steps forward toward achieving that worthwhile goal.†“Today, with the best interests of our veterans and their families in mind, the House took action to ensure greater accountability and oversight for veterans’ homes in Massachusetts,†said House Speaker Ron Mariano (D-Quincy). “This legislation takes signifi cant steps to change how our veterans’ homes are governed and managed and establishes protocols that are designed to identify and correct any examples of mismanagement or inadequate care as quickly as possible.†“I don’t think this bill addresses the core concerns of the people who testifi ed before the investigatory committee,†said Rep. Chris Markey (D-Dartmouth) who cast the only “No†vote. “I [favor] a centralized chain of command and a single person who is responsible for the hiring and fi ring of the superintendent.†Rep. Linda Dean Campbell (DMethuen) voted “Present†on the bill. “Like the Inspector General of the commonwealth, I have serious concerns about the new bill,†said Campbell who along with Sen. Mike Rush (D-Boston) last year had fi led a diff erent bill that she says was more comprehensive. “The Inspector General has stated in a letter his ‘offi ce fi nds that the current and proposed structure for the governance and oversight of the homes are fl awed,’†said Campbell. Campbell said that her bill included provisions that are not in the current measure including ones that would have elevated the secretary of veterans’ services to a full Cabinet-level position and given the governor authority to appoint or remove a facility’s superintendent and deputy superintendent based on consultation with other offi cials. Campbell continued, “In the original bill fi led, we identifi ed qualifications for service on a statewide council with expertise in fi nancial management, health care administration, clinical services, treatment of PTSD and labor relations, among others. Our original bill intends for statewide representation on this council, as these homes are for all veterans in the commonwealth, not just veterans located geographically near to the homes. Accordingly, the original bill also calls for participation by a female veteran, the fastest growing population of any veterans’ group and a member of the LGBTQ veterans’ community, among other veterans’ groups that served in various confl icts. The bill passed by the House … has none of these provisions and no qualifi cations to serve on this council.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill. A “No†vote is against the bill.) Rep. Jessica Giannino Yes DRUG COSTS (S 2651) Senate 39-1, approved and sent to the House a bill aimed at addressing the high and rapidly increasing costs of prescription drugs in the Bay State. A key provision provides immediate price relief for insulin used by one in ten people living with diabetes who must take it daily or risk major health problems. The measure limits out-of-pocket spending for insulin by eliminating deductibles and coinsurance and capping co-pays at $25 per month. Rising insulin prices have resulted in some people paying out-of-pocket costs of $1,000 or more per year, leading to some patients decreasing their insulin dose or not taking it at all. Other provisions include requiring pharmaceutical companies to notify the state in advance of new drugs coming to market, and of signifi cant price increases for existing drugs; providing patients with greater access to mailorder prescriptions; and several transparency and accountability mandates. “This legislation moves the commonwealth one step closer to a system that delivers aff ordable, high quality and accessible care for our residents,†said Sen. Cindy Friedman (D-Arlington), Senate chair of the Committee on Health Care Financing. “[The bill] ensures that more consumers can access prescription drugs at a fair price, by capping out-of-pocket insulin costs, providing relief for certain highcost drugs, improving patient access to medications and pharmacies of their choice and enhancing transparency and oversight within the pharmaceutical industry.†“Our Helpline takes calls from people across the state who can’t afford their medications,†said Amy Rosenthal, executive director at Health Care For All. “Individuals and families in Massachusetts have been struggling for far too long to access and afford the prescriptions they need, and this legislation provides critical financial relief at a pivotal time,.By passing this bill today, senators took an important step to rein in excessive drug costs, bringing oversight of pharmaceutical companies and pharmacy benefi t managers in line with other health care industries in the state.†Sen. Ryan Fattman (R-Sutton), the only senator to vote against the measure, acknowledged that there are many laudable parts of the bill but criticized parts to which he objected and resulted in his vote against it. “[The bill] unfairly penalizes individuals who receive mail-order prescriptions by raising the cost of their drugs,†said Fattman. “Many people today use mail order prescriptions from pharmacies because of the convenience and the fact that there are certain discounts off ered for out-of-pocket costs. The number of people that use this program has increased signifi cantly since the start of the pandemic, as it was seen as a safer and more convenient alternative for many people who wanted to avoid going to the store and being in public. The passage of this bill will force all current mail-order pharmacy patients, many of whom are older or ill, to pay higher out-of-pocket cost because they will not be allowed to take advantage of these discounts. [That provision] is a poison pill, and in good conscience, I can’t vote to increase costs for drugs for those who want them delivered via mail.†(A “Yes†vote is for the bill. A “No†vote is against the bill.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes DRUG COUPONS (S 1651) Senate 7-31, rejected an amendment extending until 2028 the current law, due to expire in 2023, that allows consumers to use coupons to get discounts and rebates when purchasing prescription drugs. In 2012, Massachusetts was the last state to lift a ban on the use of prescription coupons. “It’s important that we continue to have this particular tool particularly because it helps those who have high out of pocket costs, which a recent state study concluded are twice the national average and the third-highest in the nation,†said amendment sponsor Sen. Bruce Tarr (R-Gloucester). “This amendment helps consumers control their out-of-pocket costs and provides further information for policymakers so we can achieve what is clearly our common objective—reducing the systemic cost of prescription drugs and improving the lives of those who need prescription medicines.†Amendment opponents said that extending the authorization for prescription drug coupons is typically done through a provision in the annual state budget. They noted they prefer doing it that way because the budget, with the coupon provision, will eventually get to the governor’s desk and be signed into law. They noted that including it as part of a comprehensive drug bill with an uncertain future is not a good idea. (A “Yes†vote is for the amendment extending the use of coupons. A “No†vote is against it.) Sen. Lydia Edwards No POSSIBLE LICENSING OF PHARMACEUTICAL AND MEDICAL DEVICE SALES REPS (S 1651) Senate 38-0, approved an amendment that would require the Department of Public Health, in consultation with the attorney general, district attorneys, health care practitioners and patient advocates, to review the existing “gift ban law†which is the marketing code of conduct that bans and limits gifts by pharmaceutical and medical device representatives to physicians. The original ban from 2008 included a ban on the payment and provision of meals to doctors at restaurants and other venues outside of the health care setting. This provision was repealed in 2012 and current law now allows for those meals. The department’s analysis would include a comparison of the marketing code of conduct rules with similar rules established in other states; a review of any enforcement actions taken for violations of the law; a review of opioid marketing practices and direct impact upon increased substance abuse disorders and related deaths; an assessment of the need and recommendations for implementation, for further requirements to ensure marketing activities by pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers do not infl uence prescribing patterns in a manner that adversely aff ects patient care; and requiring the licensing of all pharmaceutical and medical device representatives. “We license hairstylists to protect the safety and wellbeing of consumers so there really isn’t a legitimate argument against the licensing of pharmaceutical and medical device sales reps marBEACON | SEE Page 15 ׉ Ú7cassandra://jP5RKYwjMw9FWM3WrjQJjr2mwrcTuBRg2M1JnBFSbiYÍ$øÍ`Ì°Í×bè©O#qt›×‰EÚ!úTHE REVERE ADVOCATE – FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 2022 Page 15 BEACON | FROM Page 14 1.

Do I Have to File Income Tax Returns This Year? Dear Savvy Senior, What is the IRS standard tax deduction for 2021? I didn’t fi le a tax return last tax year (2020) because I lost my job and my income in March due to COVID. But I got a part-time job in 2021 and am wondering if I made enough money that requires me to fi le this year. Part-Time Retiree Dear Retiree, Whether or not you are required to fi le a federal income tax return this year depends not only on how much you earned last year (in 2021), but also the source of that income, as well as your age and your fi ling status. Here’s a rundown of this tax season’s IRS tax filing requirement thresholds. For most people, this is pretty straightforward. If your 2021 gross income – which includes all taxable income, not counting your Social Security benefi ts, unless you are married and fi ling separately – was below the threshold for your fi ling status and age, you may not have to fi le. But if it’s over, you will. • Single: $12,550 ($14,250 if you’re 65 or older by Jan. 1, 2022). • Married fi ling jointly: $25,100 ($26,450 if you or your spouse is 65 or older; or $27,800 if you’re both over 65). • Married fi ling separately: $5 at any age. • Head of household: $18,800 ($20,500 if 65 or older). • Qualifying widow(er) with dependent child: $25,100 ($26,450 if 65 or older). To get a detailed breakdown on federal fi ling requirements, along with information on taxable and nontaxable income, call the IRS at 800-829-3676 and ask them to mail you a free copy of the “1040 and 1040-SR Instructions for Tax Year 2021,†or you can get it online at IRS.gov. Check Here Too You also need to be aware that there are other fi nancial situations that can require you to fi le a tax return, even if your gross income falls below the IRS fi ling requirements. For example, if you earned more than $400 from self-employment in 2021, owe any special taxes like an alternative minimum tax, or get premium tax credits because you, your spouse or a dependent is enrolled in a Health Insurance Marketplace plan, you’ll need to fi le. You’ll also need to fi le if you’re receiving Social Security benefi ts, and one-half of your benefi ts plus your other gross income and any tax-exempt interest exceeds $25,000, or $32,000 if you’re married and fi ling jointly. To fi gure all this out, the IRS offers an online tax tool that asks a series of questions that will help you determine if you’re required to fi le, or if you should fi le because you’re due a refund. It takes approximately 12 minutes to complete. You can access this tool at IRS. gov/Help/ITA – click on “Do I Need to File a Tax Return?†Or you can get assistance over the phone by calling the IRS helpline at 800829-1040. Check Your State Even if you’re not required to fi le a federal tax return this year, don’t assume that you’re also excused from fi ling state income taxes. The rules for your state might be very diff erent. Check with your state tax agency before concluding that you’re entirely in the clear. For links to state tax agencies see Taxadmin.org/statetax-agencies. Tax Prep Assistance If you fi nd that you do need to fi le a tax return this year, you can free fi le through the IRS at IRS. gov/FreeFile if your 2021 adjusted gross income was below $73,000.

Mark Montigny (D-New Besford) who also had sponsored the fi rst gift ban and licensing bill in 2006. “The corruption of the sacred doctor-patient relationship by the pharmaceutical industry by schmoozing at fancy restaurants is exactly the consequence that the original gift ban law was intended to prevent. Such dinners contribute to the illegitimate relationship between some physicians and [the] industry that can make some doctors feel obliged to prescribe highcost brand name drugs, even when a cheaper alternative may be more appropriate.†(A “Yes†vote is for the amendment.) Sen. Lydia Edwards Yes HOW LONG WAS LAST WEEK’S SESSION? Beacon Hill Roll Call tracks the length of time that the House and Senate were in session each week. Many legislators say that legislative sessions are only one aspect of the Legislature’s job and that a lot of important work is done outside of the House and Senate chambers. They note that their jobs also involve committee work, research, constituent work and other matters that are important to their districts. Critics say that the Legislature does not meet regularly or long enough to debate and vote in public view on the thousands of pieces of legislation that have been fi led. They note that the infrequency and brief length of sessions are misguided and lead to irresponsible latenight sessions and a mad rush to act on dozens of bills in the days immediately preceding the end of an annual session. During the week of February 7-11, the House met for a total of six hours and 26 minutes and the Senate met for a total of four hours and 11 minutes. Mon.
